New Atari EP by Ultrasyd - Chipsters
24 Oct. 2014
23:26

Discover the world of Ultrasyd on this 6-track EP packed with the most ultra-hip sound ever heard on the AtariST home-computer. It’s that good. We promise.

As a member of Brainstorm, Ultrasyd has collected some credits over the last years as a demoscener with his high quality Atari and Amstrad CPC releases. On this first EP, Ultrasyd shows us his latest tricks and mad-skills funkatising the squarewave only YM2149 soundchip, it’s so fat that we had to ask a few times if this is a pure AtariST recording!

The music is full of lovely and positive Demo-vibes, it’s the perfect EDM for the LOLKids and it features some of the coolest Atari Space-Reggae we have ever heard!

Server Changes Are Now Complete!
25 April 2014
23:03

Its been a while since we posted any news about whats been going on with the site, so I thought I would just give a bit of an update to everyone about where things are.

We have completed the migration to the new VMWare server. This is a server that was purchased as an upgrade to the existing CVGM servers, and to give us the expandability we may need in the future as the site grows bigger. In the beginning, CVGM consisted of 2 servers, an ancient Xeon server with 2gb of ram to run the Python code, and an even more ancient AMD dual core server to handle the streams. When these boxes started to break down (they were leased from the datacenter we use) we ended up purchasing our own hardware, with the help of several donations to the site from our awesome listeners.

The new server has 8 3.16Ghz cores and 16gb of ram. It also allows us to split up the resources a little better, so the streams can now have their own little server etc. All good things :) For more details on the technical changes to the site, you can read up on one of these forum threads:

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, feel free to jump on the oneliner and ask, or post a message in the forums. Thanks!

CVGM is in the process of building a new dedicated server box. This is a brand new server that we are building and will be hosted at our datacenter. The new server will have much newer hardware in it than the servers we currently rent. We are accepting donations for this via ChipIn and you can donate to the upgrade using the buttons below.

CVGM.net Will Be Offline Jan. 18th To Protest SOPA
15 Jan. 2012
18:06

To protest the ongoing SOPA act in the US (Stop Online Piracy Act) we will be shutting down the site and it's streams for 24 hours, along with tens of thousands of other websites in the US who also do not want the bill passing.

If the law passes, sites like CVGM and about 95% of the worlds web radio stations will disapear from the airwaves.

Moving To New Server
25 June 2011
12:29

Hi,

Some time over this weekend, CVGM will be moving to a new, bigger and better server. This new server will give us double the ram, triple the CPU power, and a host of other excellent things. If you find later that you can't connect to the site, try back a little later and everything should be back to normal :)

We only have a short period of time for moving data between the 2 servers, so I apologize for the downtime that may occur ahead of time. I will post more in the forums as it becomes available.

Duffy's Tavern and Bitmasters Netlabel are bringing you Toronto's very first and ONLY monthly 8-bit music event on Saturday July 2nd, 2011!

This 19+ event will feature videogame-inspired tunes, crazy pixelated visuals provided by none other than CHIP RAMBO, and classic Nintendo games for all audience members to play to give you a big hit of nostalgia you won't soon forget.

Blip Festival 2011 is coming up on us fast! CVGM will be attending the festival this year, and we openly invite everyone with an interest in chip music to attend! Our very own Ultrasyd will be doing his very first live show, and I will be right there in the front row showing my support! Some of the artists also performing live at the festival include:

Complimenting the nighttime performances are an dazzling array of daytime workshops, lectures, and demonstrations that illustrate the openness and encouragement that are hallmarks of the chip community. More often than not, a fan can attend Blip, discover their new favorite artists, and obtain the tools needed to start working on their own music when they return home, something many of this years performers know all too well!

Our Thoughts & Prayers To The People Of Japan
14 March 2011
12:16

Our thoughts & prayers go out to those people in Japan who have been affected by the huge earthquake and giant Tsunami floods. After watching the events of Friday unfold in front of my eyes on the BBC live coverage, the swift speed of the floods and the damage that they caused is just mind-blowing. I am hoping the country can get back on it's feet very soon.

Many charities and organizations around the world are setting up donation pages. Don't be scammed! Unfortunately, the world is full of people who are willing to take advantage of people wishing to help others in such a time of crisis. If making a donation, be sure you know about the charity first (we recommend the Red Cross or World Vision charities).

Japan has a lot of work to do yet; They are still facing more widespread problems with their nuclear reactors becoming unstable, many people are yet to be found and there are millions of homes that need to be rebuilt. The world should unite at times like this to help those desperately in need.

Friday Night Is Session Night!
16 Feb. 2011
08:58

Every Friday night we plan to launch a session or 2 on CVGM. This Friday will be a monster Amiga session. More information located at http://www.cvgm.net/forum/thread/114/ Feel free to post your own suggestions for your favourite Amiga songs to add to the playlist!

This thread will be used to post info regarding future sessions as well, so make any suggestions you like to hear :)

"Finally I get to present some new music. They are quite different in style, yet they connect on some level. I have tried to explore different moods within the chillout genre without leaving out the usual Xerxes sound. These tracks are exclusive for this EP, and none of them will be duplicated on the forthcoming full length album. Hope you find them enjoyable. Massive thanks to Mogens Skjold for the stunning artwork."
